DOVER, N.H. —
The American Civil Liberties Union is fighting to get a man detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement out of jail.
An ACLU lawyer said the man, a former banker and lawyer named Bienfait, fled the Republic of Congo after his son was kidnapped and local militia threatened to kill his family, but confusion at the Canadian border landed him in a New Hampshire jail cell.
Lawyers said Bienfait and his family are being persecuted because he is from the Hutu tribe.
